Having already worked in the past with Bury Director of Football Keith Alexander, Futcher it would seem is appearing to be leaning towards a move to the Shakers.
"Ben is choosing between Mansfield and Bury and it looks like he's favouring Bury," Peterborough boss Darren Ferguson has said.
"He wants a return up North and to link up again with Keith Alexander."
Futcher has been recently released from London Road, and has just returned from a family holiday, where he has been mulling over the two deals.
